Just run

Mile jog in the morning followed by a lap around the park before bed.  Getting back to adding in body weight exercises.  Let's just say I'll probably be sore tomorrow when I wake up.  That feeling you get when you stopped lifting for a while and then started getting back into it.  Looks like core exercises and easy jogging 3 times a week followed by running the other three days of the week is my next phase.  Trying to get out the door to just run was killing me with boredom since I already knew I was capable of doing it.  At least I thought I was.  This log seems to disagree with me.

No idea what the distance was but it was at least a mile.  I'm pretty sure the half mile was a half mile.  Did some short yardage sprints between the mile and half mile.  It was actually pretty fun except for the fact that I'm the least fastest person in the group.  Oh well.

Meeting after work and youth activity at the pool sidelined my evening workout.  However, the YM enjoyed playing water basketball in the pool and the YW seemed to enjoy socializing in the pool.  Costco pizza afterwards as "refreshments".

I was thinking really hard about staying in bed this morning when the alarm went off, but eating that pizza and ice cream last night for dinner was the deciding factor.  I think I could still feel it digesting in my stomach for the first half of the run.  After that, the soreness in my legs mostly vanished and I felt mostly awesome except for the ghost of a runner in front of me who I was trying to keep in sight.  He or she was just too fast and pulled away.  Thursday's are my favorite day to get out and run around in the quiet of the morning all by myself.

Had to adjust the route a little because the gates were locked again.  I have no idea what is behind these seemingly random gate closures.  It seems this is close to 5.5 miles, but I'm always doubtful even after seeing the result for myself.  Ran to University and back.  Outgoing was longer than the return because of the adjustment for the gate and I was in a hurry to make an appointment.

Shamming in Sacramento for a family event which meant sleeping in without an alarm to wake me up.  It is amazing how restful sleep can be when you just sleep until your body says it is time to wake up.  I almost got in a full eight hours.  Needless to say, we were late to the family event, but we still made it.
